Rory for a boy

I know it’s typically a boy name, especially in other countries besides the US. But everyone I talk to when I say I want to name my son Rory, they say they have never met a boy Rory and reference Gilmore Girls. 😭 this name just feels so right and I never thought of it as a girl name, regardless of Gilmore Girls. Others opinions obviously won’t stop me from using the name, I’m just trying to avoid names that he might get bullied with when he grows older.

What are your thoughts?
